Apoc Nigh Earrings

[Butcher]

Hi, Im a 75 BLM WAR RNG and soon to be NIN... I was wondering if you guys could help me choose to either get Static or Magnetic. Thx for the help in advance.

[Tyrn]

Well if you've got a conserve MP setup for your blm, then the Magnetic is a nice choice. If you don't, then go with the Static.

[Rishi]

You don't need a Conserve MP gearset for Magnetic to be effective, I wear it even as WHM/NIN for the Conserve MP and other significant bonusses. It scales linearly, so however much you can get is always useful.

The only real question is if your HNMLS is very set on MBing or not. If you're getting enough use out of the MB enhancement to warrant getting it (which I doubt), you can just stick with Loq+Moldavite instead of Magnetic and get Antivenom if you desire the +1 hMP.

As war nin mnk blm I went with etheral and I regret it, Magnetic would be ftw

[Evelyn]

i really don't even look at it by job anymore, magnetic is the sexiest of the four. Unless you never plan to level a mage job, get it. even if you don't, get it anyway.

[Mifaco]

if you actually chose static or hollow, you're a failure both at the game and at life.

[Beckwin]

If you ever plan on nin/drk tanking, you'll want the ethereal.

What about if you warp-claim Mysticmaker Profblix for a different earring...

Magnetic Earring = MP+20, "MP saved over the course of a year" +15, "Magic Burst Damage" -5%

[Krandor]

Here we go again

P.S. How's that WHM sub going Kerberoz?

[Lordwafik]

Magnetic Earring = MP+20, "MP saved over the course of a year" +15, "Magic Burst Damage" -5%

Or

"MP saved over the course of the year +%, MB damage over the course of the year unchanged because who the fuck MB's anymore"

[Rishi]

A lesson in game mechanics for anyone who thinks Conserve MP+5 and hMP+1 is totally insignificant: just the flat CMP+5 gives 5% chance at 50-90% MP cost reduction, which means that on average, you'll save ~3.5% on everything you cast - or alternatively speaking, you get MP+3.5% hMP+3.5% Refresh+3.5% etc.

So it's a constant 3.5% more MP efficiency, trumphed by Static's 5% MP efficiency only when you're MBing. This is not counting the hMP.

But hey, Static is the way to go if you worry about ePeen shots, and I understand the MDB on it can be nice.

I have RDM BLM THF MNK WAR and leveled NIN after choosing my earring... i took Magnetic. Magnetic/Loquacious is a great earring set for MP on RDM. I justified it by figuring i use Suppa/Brutal on most of my melee jobs (brutal/merman's for mnk) and at the time i was using Loquacious and Antivenom on RDM...

anyways i think the conserve mp is worth it over the static MB bonus, it's always useful when soloing, manaburn, pretty much everything where there is no more MBs.

Scroll down to Raineer's post about the Conserve MP portion. None of the earrings are groundbreaking, so just pick which one you will use the most.

[aurik]

Magnetic unless you do absolutely everything as BLM and magic burst a lot.

[Butcher]

I think im actually getting Magnetic for the long run as i love leveling jobs to 75 now. Thank you for all the help guys ^^

The all knowing Mifaco...

I chose Static for BLM and I don't regret it one bit. I also have RDM which I break 1k on MBs thanks to this baby.

Also the +2 MND isn't bad at all for RDM either.

Unless someone proves to me that Conserve MP actually increases proc and not the amount of MP saved, I'll consider Magnetic as the better earring for BLM.

Static + AF2 gloves = win

[aurik]

Unless someone proves to me that Conserve MP actually increases proc and not the amount of MP saved

Um, that's exactly what CMP+X does, increases the chance of CMP triggering by X%.

are you sure? or does it increase the number of mp conserved...

You know what I mean?

[Shuemue]

I picked static, it's fun. Wish I'd got ethereal sometimes, but I don't really regret it.
